Question

explain whether 14t - 3t is equivalent to 3t - 14t. support your answer by evaluating the expressions for t = 2. the expression 14t - 3t is not equivalent to 3t - 14t because the negative sign in 14t - 3t belongs to the term -3t. for t = 2, 14t - 3t is equal to \\(\square\\) and 3t - 14t is equal to \\(\square\\). (simplify your answers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate \(14t - 3t\) for \(t = 2\)

First, simplify \(14t - 3t\) to \(11t\). Then substitute \(t = 2\): \(11\times2 = 22\).

Step2: Evaluate \(3t - 14t\) for \(t = 2\)

First, simplify \(3t - 14t\) to \(-11t\). Then substitute \(t = 2\): \(-11\times2 = -22\).

Answer:

For \(t = 2\), \(14t - 3t\) is equal to \(22\) and \(3t - 14t\) is equal to \(-22\).
